viewDidLoad is called the first time the view property of the vc is accessed - that's when loading happens. There is no guarantee that the view is in a window at that time, and presenting a modal vc on a vc whose view is not in a window does not make sense. Perhaps viewDidAppear is what you were looking for. Where does the documentation say you can do this in viewDidLoad?
